I just updated my macOS to Catalina and I can't run python or open a jupyter notebook from terminal anymore. As an example, I get error message "ImportError: No module named pandas" when running my python code, and I get
zsh: command not found: jupyter
when running
jupyter notebook
This issue has brought me to anaconda (I would love someone to explain me why. Does python need anaconda to be ran?). I have tried several suggestions from https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/10998, e.g. I have tried copying folder "anaconda3" from "Relocated items" folder to "Users//", then
export PATH=''/Users/<username>/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
but I get either
dquote>
or
zsh: /Users//Applications/anaconda3/bin/conda: bad interpreter: /anaconda3/bin/python: no such file or directory
I then tried to reinstall Anaconda using the graphic installer (from https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/#macos) following advice from someone from the anaconda team (https://www.anaconda.com/how-to-restore-anaconda-after-macos-catalina-update/) (I changed installation location to a folder I created in /Users//) but I still get the same error messages when running python3 or jupyter notebook.
How can successfully run python and jupyter notebook with macOS Catalina?
After installed macOS Catalina, we can switch the terminal from bash to zsh. There are many advantages from using zsh instead of bash, but One of the issues with zsh is some of the frameworks (jupyter notebook,conda) are not supported directly. Once I typed jupyter notebook in terminal to run it. It displayed “zsh: no such file or directory”.
The solver is simple but very difficult to find online.
If jupyter was already installed before the update and stopped working after zsh, you should be able to fix it by:
1.open zshrc in terminal by typing: open .zshrc or $open .zschrc
2. add the following line at the end of the file:
source ~/.bash_profile
It will ask zsh to use all the information from bash like the path of jupyter.
Hope it can help you out!
I'm answering to my own question in case it can help others ;)

(see comments as well)
Mac OS BigSur:
Uninstall Anaconda:rm -f Anaconda-Navigator.app
re-install pip3 install jupyterlab
I just updated to Catalina, two days before Big Sur release.. oh well.
Catalina came with changes to security and bash, that will remain for future releases. So Catalina moves your anaconda3 folder to /Users/Shared/Previously Relocated Items/Security/anaconda3 I tried to move it back to home directory, but that didn't work. So I deleted it, and reinstalled Anaconda using the command line installer Not the GUI installer, and it worked for me. You can follow instructions here and use /Users/me/anaconda3 folder as recommended here.
Here are the commands that worked for me,
shasum -a 256 /Users/username/anaconda3 . Although not sure it did anything
bash ~/Downloads/Anaconda3-2020.02-MacOSX-x86_64.sh or whatever the name of the command line installer from Conda in your Download folder, or wherever else you downloaded it.
Use sudo in front of the command if permission was denied, then enter your log in password for your Mac
source /Users/username/anaconda3/bin/activate conda init zsh
sudo conda init zsh then enter your Mac's password.
You should be all set now, and all commands like ipython, conda info, jupyter notebook, pyspark will all work.
The last command will make step3 command persist i.e. initialize conda base environment, such that you can run conda, ipython, jupyter notebook the next time you use terminal.
Install the Jupyter using Homebrew in zsh shell
If you don't Python install 3.3or higher.
Open terminal
Using Homewbrew install jupyter
brew install jupyter
Now, you start a notebook
jupyter notebook
After installing Anaconda3 I tried to search in my start menu for Anaconda Navigator but it just doesn't show. All I get when typing Anaconda in my start menu is Anaconda Prompt, I have tried to launch jupyter notebook from the Anaconda Prompt but it says that "jupyter n'est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne ou externe", and it's the same for Anaconda Navigator.
I want to add that I select the case that add Anaconda to the Path and I have installed miniconda too and I didn't have any error message while installing.
Yes I was having the same issues after installing Anaconda3-5.2.0-Windows-x86_64 on Windows 10. Though my previous install of Python 3.6.5 was working quite well.
A possible workaround - which worked for me beautifully - is to uninstall the Anaconda3-5.2.0 and install an old version.
Try Anaconda3-4.0.1 as I did from https://repo.continuum.io/archive/
While installing just accept all the defaults.
Confirm that the Navigator is installed from the Start Menu or launch from command prompt with this command:
anaconda-navigator
Once you are sure it is running - close and again from command prompt update to current version with:
conda update --all
Then:
conda update anaconda
You should now be good to go!
i solved my problem by del .condarc file. And restart Navigator. That's ok.
I tried an old version of Anaconda exactly Anaconda3-4.0.1 and it works. Now I have my Anaconda Navigator and can launch jupyter notebook.
This problem also happened to me under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
I solved my problem by changing my BASHRC file (~/.bashrc).
In this file, there is one line added by Anaconda installer:
export PATH="/home/mustafa1/anaconda3/bin:$PATH" # commented out by conda initialize
I just removed the # sign to make it work (of course I typed "source ~/.bashrc"), now I can see everything. I can use jupyter-notebook and anaconda-navigator.
Thus, my problem was a PATH issue. I think it is important where you install your anaconda.
Anaconda (listed as "Python 3.6.0 (Anaconda 4.3.1 64 bit)" ) is in my programs and features list, but there is seeming no Anaconda Navigator desktop app, as their seems to be no icon on my desktop and I am unable to search for it through "Start". Could this be because I have the 32-bit version of Anaconda downloaded and I have a 64-bit OS (I thought I should do this because Python on my computer was 64-bit) or because I downloaded Anaconda under "users" instead of Desktop. I also downloaded Anaconda twice, if that could be causing some of the problem. I have a Windows 10 laptop, if that is any help.
Try to
source ~/anaconda3/bin/activate root
anaconda-navigator
https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/1580
Open up a command terminal (CTRL+ALT+T)
and try running this command:
anaconda-navigator
When I installed Anaconda, and read the website docs, they said that they tend to not add a file or menu path to run the navigator because there are so many different versions of different systems, instead they give the above terminal command to start the navigator GUI and advise on setting up a shortcut to do this process manually - if that works for you it shouldn't be too much trouble to do it this way - I do it like this personally
How I solved this issue:
1. Be connected to the internet.
2. Open the Anaconda Prompt (looks like a regular command window).
If you installed the .exe in your /name/user/ location you should be fine, if not navigate to it.
Then start an environment.
conda info --envs
Then run
conda install -c anaconda anaconda-navigator
Press y when prompted (if prompted). It will being downloading the packages needed.
Then run your newly installed Anaconda Navigator
anaconda-navigator
It should start, and also appear in your regular windows 10 apps list.
activate the virtual env with command:
conda activate base
run anacond anavigator
anaconda-navigator
when you will type anaconda in windows 10 search bar it will give you the list as
then in terminal you have to type anaconda-navigator as
it will start anaconda on your machine.
Yet another option which worked in my case on Windows 10: Try uninstalling your previous installation, restart the system and run the installation again. Make sure you don't start any programs before installing Anaconda. You will find the installation finishes without prompting any kind of errors.
Type in Anaconda in your Windows 10 Search bar. You will find Anaconda Prompt appear.
I figured out the reason as to why:
1-There seems to be no navigator icon
2-When conducting the above steps of running the "anaconda-navigator" command in prompt (whether cmd or Anaconda) it yields "anaconda navigator is not recognized as an internal or external command"
This was very frustrating to me as I'd installed the proper version multiple times with no avail.
To solve this problem :
in the installation process, there will be an advanced options step with 2 selections one of which is unchecked (the top one). Make sure you check it which will add the navigator to the path of your machine variables.
Cheers,
Hossam
it works :
export PATH=/home/yourUserName/anaconda3/bin:$PATH
after that run anaconda-navigator command. remember anaconda can't in Sudo mode, so don't use sudo at all.
I faced the same problem on Windows 10. As soon as I cleared my Path variable from edit environment variables option, the icon started to appear. It was occurring because I had previously installed python 3.6.1 on my computer and added it to my path variable as C:\Python36;C:\Python36\DLL; and so on. There isn't any need to uninstall Anaconda Navigator and start from scratch if you have correctly followed the steps mentioned at the documentation for it.
Try restarting the system! You will be able to find the navigator once you restart the system after installation.
Tried all solutions here but these 2 steps solved the issue:
1) manual update of open-ssl from here:
https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
2) update OpenSSL using conda update openssl command in the Anaconda Prompt
solved the issue!
I had a similar issue today where only the prompt was available after installation.
Finally solved this by un-installing my regular python installation and then install anaconda(anaconda 3 v5.2.0, with python 3.6).
I also have the issue on windows when i am unable to find the anaconda-navigator in start menu.
First you have to check anaconda-navigator.exe file in your anaconda folder if this file is present it means you have installed it properly otherwise there is some problem and you have to reinstall it.
Before reinstalling this points to be noticed
1) You have to uninstall all previous python folder
2) Check you environment variable and clear all previous python path
After this install anaconda
your problem will be resolved if not tell me the full error i will try to solve it
Uninstall your Anaconda, delete the folder where it was. Then reinstall it.
You might not be in a anaconda environment
Below is a link how to activate the environment from the official documentation
On Windows, in your Anaconda Prompt, run activate myenv
https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html#activating-an-environment
And then run the anaconda navigator from the anaconda prompt by entering the command anaconda-navigator
100% Solved.
While Installing make sure you are connected to Internet.
If already installed anaconda, open the anaconda command prompt and type following command:
conda install -c anaconda anaconda-navigator
(internet connection is required)
Note: In some cases restarting may solve the issue of navigator.
This is what I did
Reinstall anacoda with ticked first check box
Remember to Restart
I have that error an the solution was to install the Win64 OpenSSL.

Download and install Miniconda first from this link and later on download and install Anaconda. Then you will be able to see the navigator in your all programs list in the start menu. I hope this will help you. Let me know in case of any concerns.
In my case; it was available in the anaconda folder in "All App" from main menu
For people from Brazil
There is a security software called Warsaw (used for home banking) that must be uninstalled! After you can install it back again.
After thousand times trying, installing, uninstalling, cleanning-up the regedit that finally solved the problem.
First Run This Command
conda config --set auto_activate_base True
Then Run This Command
anaconda-navigator.
Turn off your internet connection, then open your terminal and type anaconda-navigator or type anaconda prompt in the search bar and double click on the anaconda prompt.
If anaconda is opened, then you can turn on your Wi-Fi.
I'm also faced with this issue. When I checked conda --version got a command not recognized error. Then I set the environmental variables as in https://stackoverflow.com/a/61372328/13370201. After that run anaconda navigator command. Then it started to initializing anaconda navigator.This tutorial also help for me.
I faced the same problem in Solus Baidge but I solved by activating the conda environment.
First activate
conda activate
Then run the navigator
anaconda-navigator
Make sure to run the installer as admin
In my case (Windows 11) it was a permission problem. Make sure to run the installer as administrator. You can check this by modification of the path in the installer process.
Further steps to handle the problem:
Uninstall your actual anaconda version.
Delete old Data found in:
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming
C:\Users\YourUsername
(In my case it was called .anaconda and .conda folder)
Restart PC
Install Anaconda as admin
The followng command solved my issue.
pip install --upgrade pywin32==228
On windows 10, I faced the same error - only Anaconda Prompt was showing in the startup menu. What I did is i re-installed Anaconda and selected install for all users of the pc (in my initial installation I have installed only for current user).
What finally worked for me was:
Uninstalling Anaconda
Deleting all files that has "conda" in them - most of them should be
located in: C:\Users\Admin
Delete especially the "condarc" file.
Reboot
Installed 32-bit installer (even though my system is 64-bit) and reboot
Finally worked. I have not yet re-tried with 64-bit installer, since I have a time critical project, but will do when again I have spare time.
P.S. what broke Anaconda for me was a blue screen I got while updating Anaconda. I guess it did not clear all old files and this broke the new installs.
I too faced a similar issue when I was not able to find the Anaconda Navigator Desktop app in the start menu. But do not worry , Go to start Menu and Type Anaconda Navigator. Now within the apps menu you will find anaconda navigator with its icon. Click on that. After clicking you will find a command prompt dialog opened and a .exe file runs on your machine. Wait till it completes.
The Anaconda Navigator app opens on your machine.
